  • got one just like it..well, almost "Selmer by Hofner". If it has a serial no. you can trace the year...mine is '64.

    Plastic on mahcine heads has gone v. brittle...one already broken. Any tips to replace/protect them?

  • @picklick1 Nice tip above. I would just replace the machine heads tbh. I hate bad MH's. It costs about £30 - 50 for a set and it isn't too hard to do. You must order a set that fits and you must order appropriate metric / imperial MH's. Good luck!

  • Sorry that the video is a little jumpy - I didn't have the OS on.

  • Nice guitar. Trick regarding brittle plastic machine heads (thanks Dan Erlevine from StewMac) Dip the machine heads (one at a time...) in thin superglue - hold it there until no more bubbles comes out.

    Let it dry...it should now be stronger and ok to use again.

    Hi from Jan DK
